Looks like Shaun Peet won't play today.
Looking at the boxscore, it's true that Peet's penalty was over with the goal, but you can't just come out of the box and start --or join -- a fight during a stoppage. From the looks of Rule 72, Peet's only option was to go straight from the sin bin to the bench -- you get six games for leaving either, and even if the league decides to treat his action as a "legal line change," there'd be discipline.
